the feast of moveable stitch markers continues… dine on some techniques at Knitty City
Greetings all!
The round of classes we offered at Knitty City in October and November were such a hit that we’re running a few of them again in December. What with the busy-ness of the holidays, there’s time for just a couple of them this time around. Stay tuned for more in the future. Here’s the slate for December….
Unveiling the Anatomy of the Stitch
Knitted Sampler: An Exploration of Color, Texture, Form with Lisa Daehlin at Knitty City
Sundays, December 8th and 15th ; 2:00-4:00pm
[ Sign up for one class or for both… the progression of these particular classes is not linear ]
The technique of knitting allows for so many variations. Join us on an exploration of those variations as we dine on this banquet of different techniques. Each week focuses on a new technique.
